ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Allezfan]

WHAT?

I reckon David's played a blinder hre. He knows that if we want to challenge for the top 4 next season, we need more funds so he's not signed his contract to force those redshirt t***s hand and make them buy another class striker.

Ridiculously different.

Moyes hasn't signed a new contract as the manager. Suarez has bit someone as a player.

Your comparing not signing a contract with biting a player.

Well done, KOPITE.

Controversial

You've got stones AF!

I'm comparing the ridiculous leaps of logic fans use to convince themseleves that the various mercenaries who play for and manage their club really care for the team's interest before their own despite twenty years of evidence that that's not the case with any of them.

Obviously Moyes is a much better person than Suarez. But it's fantasy to think either put the club's ambitions in front of their own.

Agree actually

All fans are guilty of this sometimes, no matter who they support

Well, I do think Moyes wants more money to spend, his reasons could be questioned I suppose.

I dont think he is actually. He is making the point that some on here think Moyes is holding off signing until it is clear he has got some cash in the Summer. Which is a similar point that bulb on RAWK, (I assume) was making about ratface; ie, using his situation to get cash out of the owners.

A manager not signing a contract until he is given money to spend on new players is completely different to a footballer purposely getting himself banned for biting someone because it means the owners of the club he plays for will have to buy a new player who he can play alongside when back.

A manager not signing a contract until he is given money to spend on new players.

That's clearly not what's happening though

I think you could "out grump" Charlie Brooker mate

I'd like to see you two in a "Grump Off"

 

[Azzurri]

What's happening then?

Even if that was his motivation (not saying it is, btw - just massively disagree with your assertion that it is "no different)), Moyes doing that ISN'T putting his own interests/ambitions on the back burner. For Moyes there is no downside to "ransoming" his own signing a contract that way. He knows that he can say snap whenever he wants and will be offered a new deal. He probably also knows that staying at everton is at least currently his best chance of winning something.

The thought that Suarez would get himself fined/suspended etc by BITING a player in order to crowbar another striker out of LFC is infinitely more ridiculous - partly because if he walked away from Liverpool tomorrow (where he's been for like 2yrs, as opposed to Moyes's 11) he'd be snapped up by a club where he'd have a MUCH better chance of winning something.

Not to mention that it's actually a manager's job to interact with the board over transfer budgets etc - not generally the traditional role of your star striker.

Ahhh maybe Moyes is looking around to see what's on the market I suppose.
